A Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a secure microcontroller that manages encryption keys and enhances security features like Secure Boot, BitLocker, and Windows Hello, ensuring system integrity.
The TPM architecture complies with an international standard (ISO/IEC 11889), emphasizing integrity protection, isolation, and confidentiality in cryptographic operations for improved security.
PCs designed in 2016 or later almost certainly have a TPM 2.0, as Microsoft mandated its availability and settings for manufacturers, enabling enhanced security for Windows systems.
TPM can be a physical chip or firmware-based, with manufacturers like Intel and AMD embedding TPM functions into their CPUs, increasing the security potential in modern PCs.
